“The designers have created a world, we\u2019ve been calling it a patchwork world,\u201d said Tori Lee Averett, the Director of “Into the Woods. “You\u2019re going to see pieces and parts that are gathered together to make a really rich texture, something that\u2019s rich and diverse and complex when you really look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
